Basic Grey challenges

Hello and hope you're having a wonderful Saturday... I'm a bit late posting my Basic Grey Challenge card... managed to actually get a lie in (which always has to be taken up LOL)! We have a wonderful colour challenge to inspire you...

This was a wonderfully quick card to make and might make a few more for those extra visitors over the coming holidays. As the colours are quite soft I went for a shabby chic card. The bauble I have stamped directly onto pink paper and the decorative band is in a blue it just looks a little silvery. I have gone over the band with my spica glitter pen. I have inked up the embossed card so it looks more cream coloured. The leaves are die cut from BG paper and embellished with ribbon and button. Click the images for a close up...

This weeks challenge will be the last until the new year as BasicGrey Challenges will be taking a break over Christmas, so that means that you have a few extra weeks to take part :), the new challenge will be posted on the 9th of January so be sure to pop back then :)

This is stunning, Kim! So soft and pretty...love the big bauble and the leaves too...well, I love it all! Just gorgeous!Glad you had a lie in, cuz I am sure it is a busy time and I'm sure the kidos are excited for Santa! Hannah is 10 now and she has been asking me the tough questions about Santa but he sent a reply to her letter and so she has decided to still believe, smile!Big Hugs,t

Kim, I absoloutely LOVE this card! Your use of colours and design is after my own heart. The embossing, leaves and punching are fantastic, not to mention the lovely ornament! This is just beautiful!Anthea xx
